SUM

The following parameters of this SYNCSORT control statement are supported in MFSORT and MFJSORT. To enable this support, set the MFJSENGINE environment variable.

Note: SYNCSORT emulation allows you to omit the equals sign (=) between a keyword and its bracketed parameters; for example, OUTREC(05:5,10).

Restriction: The maximum number of SUM fields is 600. The maximum SUM field length for formats FI, BI, and FL is 8; for all other formats, the maximum SUM field length is 18.

If required, use the SORTXSUM DD statement to write records that were deleted during a SUM process to a dataset. This occurs at the time of the SUM processing, and so will not undergo OUTREC, E35 or OUTFIL processing, which all occur after SUM processing.
